Abstract

A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device by determining that an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location. Electronic content is selected, and information is dynamically inserted or updated in the selected content based upon the location. Or, electronic content is dynamically generated based on location. The electronic content is then transmitted to the electronic device.

Claims

1. A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device, comprising:

determining an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location;

selecting electronic content for transmission to the electronic device;

dynamically inserting information in the selected electronic content based upon the location; and

then

transmitting the selected electronic content to the electronic device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the selecting includes selecting the electronic content based upon the location.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

dynamically updating information in the selected electronic content based upon the location before the transmitting.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the proximity threshold is met only by the electronic device being at the location.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining includes determining a place of connection of the electronic device to a network.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

adapting the selected electronic content to a viewing screen or audio output of the electronic device.

7. A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device, comprising:

determining an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location;

selecting electronic content for transmission to the electronic device;

dynamically updating information in the selected electronic content based upon the location; and

then

transmitting the selected electronic content to the electronic device.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the selecting includes selecting the electronic content based upon the location.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

dynamically inserting information in the selected electronic content based on the location before the transmitting.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein the proximity threshold is met only by the electronic device being at the location.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein the determining includes determining a place of connection of the electronic device to a network.

12. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

adapting the selected electronic content to a viewing screen or audio output of the electronic device.

13. A method of providing electronic content to an electronic device, comprising:

determining an electronic device meets a proximity threshold with respect to a location;

dynamically generating electronic content based upon the location; and

transmitting the dynamically generated electronic content to the electronic device.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

dynamically updating information in the generated electronic content before the transmitting.

15. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

dynamically inserting information in the generated electronic content before the transmitting.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the proximity threshold is met only by the electronic device being at the location.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the determining includes determining a place of connection of the electronic device to a network.

18. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

adapting the selected electronic content to a viewing screen or audio output of the electronic device.
